Kylix inerface

Hi,
I have recently purchased Kylix for developing applications ( in particular a Billing system ) and would like to use Postgress if possible. Kylix comes with interface for MYSQL , DB2 , Oracle , and Interbase but does not mention Postgress.
 
Is it possible for someone to advise me how to use postgress Please.
 
My experience manily lies in Open VMS so I am having to overcome the operating system ( Linux ) as well.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
 
Best Regards
 
Balvinder

Go to http://www.freepascal.org
Then to the contributed units page. There is a postgres unit there that is a
pascal wrapper of libpq. It was originally written around 6.x. I don't know
if there have been any updates for the 7.x interface.

The following also showed up recently on the fpc list.

Zeos (www.zeoslib.org) has released the last version of their library and
now it supports kylix! Obviously, it isn't dbexpress but it uses directly
the pgsql.so library. Give it a try! It works...
